Abigail

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff very welcoming and informative. Clean property, good location next to the river and not far from supermarkets. Would stay here again however I did have a few little issues. The doorbell outside wasn’t working so I had to wait at the front door for a while until someone saw my shadow in the glass and let me in. The room I was in with the en-suite would be a little bit cramped when full if there are 5 beds and 5 bags/suitcases as there isn’t much floor space. There also weren’t enough plugs. I could only find one set of 2 which wasn’t enough for the 3 of us that were staying there that night, especially as one of them was being used for the lamp. In addition to this, an early check out key deposit box would be good. You may have one but I couldn’t find it, I had to fling the key under the gap in the door to the office and hope it didn’t lodge itself under any of the furniture/slip out of sight.

Lovely older style b&b, and staff were friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable, set with furniture consistent with the age of the building. Bed very comfortable. Access to tea and coffee, but no breakfast available. Could use youth hostel kitchen between 8am and 8pm.

The cabin room had gaps in/around the door so it was really cold all night, other than that it was great.
